Can grill be removed to clean the blades?

I really don't know...however, I did note that having used it for the entire summer, I found the blades to be remarkably clean...if the grill does not come out, my plan is to take the fan out of the window, bring it into the yard and spray the fan blades with a water hose, let dry for a day or two before plugging it back it...good fan, worked well this past year...24/7 for a couple of months, relatively quiet . I used it on a lower speed setting...

Yes. There are 6 small crews that secure the front and back grills. They require a small phillips head screwdriver. One caution about this fan. It is very noisey in Low speed mode. I rejected the first one, but the 2nd wasn't much better even though I kept it. I operate it mostly in the medium and Hi speed modes.

Yes there are 6 small screws that hold the front grill to the rear grill and then its easy to get to the blades. But slightly tricky to put it back together. I found that once I got a couple started that I just layed the fan down with front facing up then the rest of the screws were replaced easily. I used my fan all of last summer 2012 and performed beautifully. The really nice thing about this fan is you can close the window behind the fan with the fan still in the window.

Probably- 6 screws around the rim of the grill plate attach it to the frame, so it appears "Yes", if you must- But I'm never going to bother trying. PS- I *LOVE* this fan! Low/Med/High really are entirely different settings, & even "Low" completely turns over the air on entire 1st floor (~900 sq. ft.) in seconds! BEST window fan I've ever owned! E-reverse/exhaust is SO easy. I can understand that the noise bothers some-"White noise" = steady / smooth / continuous hum(24/7), with NO sudden jarring "bumps" in the sound, to disturb. Doesn't bother me, I LIKE it! But, beware- If you cannot tolerate a steady low hum, this fan may be too loud for you.

Yes, my husband says it is very easy to remove. So far we are very happy with this grill.

remove the small screws on the back and snap that piece off; you can then clean the blade

Yes, you remove the plastic grill that is angled, and is near the top front of the machine. It does not sit very well, and is a bit of a hassle putting back on after filling.

Yes, the top grill grate comes off. Both the bottom small grate and the top grill grate can be used or removed.

The the back panel have 6 screws so you can unscrew, take off the grill & even the blade if you need to clean thoroughly. Use a vacuum to clean the back vent area.

My grates also move when I clean them. Any BBQ grill usually has a small space for movement, otherwise you wouldn't be able to take them out to clean, etc because they would be too snug.

There is a small cup on the base of the unit for grease. The cooking surface (grill grate) and reflective pan can be removed. I would NOT recommend this grill. The grate sits directly on the coils. Think there MUST be some supports for the grill missing but just haven't had time to purse it.

The blades can be removed from the inside of the blender but I wouldn't suggest you do it. Like the Vitamix it clearly tells you NOT to remove the blades. The blades can be removed but I don't believe the entire metal part that the blades are secured to can be removed. The blades have a single screw holding them but the bottom metal piece has no screws at all.

No problem disassembling. It's the grills themselves that are very hard to clean, even under hot water and scouring pads. You really have to pick all the food out of the grooves. We use foil or other grills over the Weber grill as other surface clean much easier.

Well I've never tried it, but the griddle is really easy to remove. I guess if you have a pot or another grill plate that fits, you could use it in that place.

Lift the blade cover from the back and rinse between the blades. You can't actually remove the blade themselves.

We do not recommend taking the unit apart, however, you can use compressed air to gently clean the blades.

Just get a grill cleaning brush. I use my brush to clean the grates after I use my grill and I've never had an issue getting anything off.

Yes. There are 4 large screws which are easily removed. I totally enjoy the grill. Lots of heat and good size cooking area.

it is a little tricky but the front metal grill can be removed by prying at the four little plastic tabs (I have done it without breaking the tabs). best bet is to keep it in place and use a high powered vacuum w/brush to clean the front and back grill.

The grill is not removable. It does not pry apart (or if it does, one runs the risk of breaking it while trying, and I gave up on that). Taking the entire fan apart is not the route advertised, which states "easily cleaned" and "detachable grill." No way.
